Police pursue burglary suspects

As The Landmark went to press two suspects, possibly armed, who fled from the site of a breaking and entering on Highland Avenue were being pursued by Holden Police, Massachusetts State Police and their K-9 tracking dog.

The suspects fled from a home on Highland Avenue after a DPW worker in the neighborhood spotted them, Holden Police Chief George Sherrill said. They dropped tools and fled on foot. Sherrill said the tools were the type typically used in breaking and entering.

The description was very generic, Sherrill said. The suspects appeared to be in their teens and one was wearing a baseball hat.

The homeowner arrived on the scene about noon time to assess whether anything was missing from the house.
